Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for development and C-sharp coding.

In our organization, we use it for debugging while installing and using whatever package we require. Hence, it is an independent platform, which adds to some of its useful features.

The time that it takes to load the application can be reduced. The aforementioned details can be considered for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for nearly three years. 

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution, and it is very easy to scale. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

There are so many people using it owing to the fact that it is similar to a credit card system.

The solution is suitable for medium enterprises.

The technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten since I don't have any issues with the support.

Previously, I was using HTML Editor for JavaScript coding. I got into development, and that's why I switched to Microsoft Visual Studio.

The installation of the solution is easy.

I don't have any cloud, but there is some setup file available for installation, and I use that.

We use Microsoft VSTS to deploy CI/CD pipelines, so it automatically builds the application and publishes it. Therefore, we don't face any problems.

There are two engineers taking care of the deployment.

The solution doesn't require any maintenance.

I had evaluated some other options. I chose to go with Microsoft since my organization's technology is based on Microsoft, which is why it is easier to work with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a vast application. We need to explore more and make use of it. I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio for data modeling. 

I like the product's connection with Azure analytics services and the ability to build the model on the cloud. 

The tool's interface should be more user-friendly. 

I have been working the solution for six months. 

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is not the best in terms of scalability. My company has 15 users for it. 

The product's setup is straightforward. The time taken to deploy it depends on the project. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

We use the solution to develop in-house products.

The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with various platforms.

There could be more coding languages in the solution.

I have been working with the solution for two years.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Presently, five people use it in our organization.

The solution's initial setup is easy. We require a team of 15 executives, one director, five to six managers, engineers, and technical staff for its maintenance.

The system administrators help us implement the solution.

We are using the solution's free version.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I write all of my web applications and perform debugs with the solution. Our company is a Microsoft partner and has 1,000 developers and technical team members that are dispersed across the UK, US, and Asia Pacific.

The breakout point, interface design, and coding areas are WYSIWYG and easy to use. 

The solution includes a debug function that I can breakpoint to easily detect what is wrong with my applications. It is really good for debugging C# code. It identifies which lines or sections have problems and if your naming is incorrect.

The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL. 

For SQL, sometimes I get alerts that there are non-values or mismatches but the line or section is not identified. I get very generic information with SQL. I have to install ELMAH open source code into our SQL so Visual Studio can track it. 

For jQuery, I have to add the debugger command manually. 

Sometimes, when upgrading the product, certain features are removed even though they are very good like EDMS. There was a VISA for connecting databases and creating an entity framework that would generate connections and pulses. It was removed from the latest release so now it needs to be added manually. I like enhancements but would prefer they not remove features as it makes things more difficult. 

When they release things like .NET Core, the solution becomes unstable. There needs to be a long-term plan because so many versions have been released that some are duplicates. Let's say I'm using .NET Core version 5 and they change it to .NET 5 or 6.0, the releases are too quick and completely duplicated. 

Every new release includes duplicates of features. Some are very useful but when they are duplicated, I have to rewrite or upgrade my code. This makes it difficult for a developer and is not a long-term solution. In one year, I've already spent money to develop my apps, and then I have to upgrade the code again. 

I have been using the solution for 20 years. 

The solution is not very stable and sometimes hangs. 

The solution is scalable and adding users is no problem. 

I rely on internal staff for technical support. I believe Microsoft requires you to register as a customer before you can utilize their support. There's an online forum where you can post questions and get quick replies from other users. 

Setup and use are easy. 

Deployment varies based on the size of your project. 

Small, web-deployed projects take less than five minutes and we are ready to publish the web app to Azure. 

For on-premises, we build the DLL and web package in advance. It takes 20-30 minutes to import because you have to upload to the file server, download the package, and import the application.  

Our company is a Microsoft partner so we only use their solutions. 

If you want to use .NET or C#, then Visual Studio is the best solution. 

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for developing WPS applications.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the good intelligence and UI.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately five years.

The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve. There are times it hangs or stops working and I have to restart the program.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

We have approximately 10 people in our company's automated department using the solution.

Our manager has spoken to the technical support from Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is easy to set up. The deployment took approximately 30 minutes.

We did the deployment in-house of Microsoft Visual Studio.

This is a good solution for developing .NET applications and other applications.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten.

It is great for integration with Excel. For example, with Microsoft Access, you can make fast elementary analyses for the business. It is very easy to use.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a powerful product that we can use for visualization. We currently use it for simple business tasks and financial graphics.

The scalability could be improved.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years, and it is deployed on cloud.

The stability depends on the solution that you need. If you use a lot of data, it's not stable, but if you use it for business tasks, it's stable because they are simple tasks.

It is not scalable, and it could be better. About 200 people use Microsoft Visual Studio in my company.

I rate this solution a four out of ten. I would recommend this solution depending on the business case. It is a very simple and nice tool for simple tasks, but I would not recommend it for complex tasks.

I can't speak to performance because it's a cloud solution, and it depends on the cloud. When you are using real-time data, you need the results immediately, so if the cloud is not fast enough, it's an issue. Results aren't provided in real-time, but if it is on-premises, this can be avoided. But if it is on-premises, you must give up some features. Therefore, it is challenging to determine performance.

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for development.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is how easy it is to access all the basic templates for development. There are so many features you get with Visual Studio that it's really helpful for the deployment, the development, and the intelligence behind it. 

The product and its features have come a long way over the years. There are so many features available that you can't use them all. I would like to see more on-premise tips and tools along with development time so that I don't need to go to a third-party site. It would be better if Microsoft Visual Studio familiarized me with all the updates and new feature sets. Help tips would be really helpful.

I would like to see a design preview feature. In the 2013 version and partially in the 2015 version, there was a design screen within Visual Studio. Now, you can't really see the design elements during development without deploying the whole design template. The design preview would be beneficial in future updates.

I have been using this solution for 10 years.

The solution is stable. It has not crashed.

Microsoft Visual Studio is scalable enough for us. Teams work on it and can collaborate on their work. The number of users depends on the strength of the team and the requirements of the project.

The support for Microsoft Visual Studio is good. All the templates for different types of development like Windows, APIs, and Angular development are all supported.

Other than the Microsoft line-up, you can work on the open source languages as well. They support open source languages like Angular and Node.

Previously we worked with different IDEs. We use Visual Studio in parallel with VS Code in parallel with Atom. We also work with Eclipse. 

I prefer Visual Studio because I am also working with Microsoft Teams.

The initial setup of Visual Studio is straightforward for anyone familiar with the solution. Newer users will experience a learning curve, but it is not because of the GUI, the user experience is good.

We have an enterprise-level license. The cost is expensive for small to medium-sized organizations.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an excellent IDE, but the features are more of VS Code. For small to medium-sized organizations, the licensing for Visual Studio may be too expensive. It is really suited for companies that work on the cloud, or have large teams working on Microsoft Stack. Many open-source tools provide similar feature sets. 

On the other hand, you will find Visual Studio more user-friendly than open source. It has a better GUI and is more plug-and-drop compared to other IDEs.

It is also a personal preference. If you are comfortable with command terms, then Visual Studio provides that. If you require a TFS repository, you do need Visual Studio as an IDE, as they are really tightly coupled and easy to do all your CI/CD. Lastly, if you use a version control other than TFS, then you may prefer a different IDE, like VS Code or an open-source IDE.

The main factor is going to come down to cost. 

I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten overall.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio to develop software.

What I like the most about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's useful. It's also a very stable solution, and is scalable as well. It's quick to set up as it only took me a few seconds to do it.

What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for four years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very stable solution.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a scalable solution.

We use the internet, for example, YouTube sites to solve issues about Microsoft Visual Studio. We don't contact their support team.

The initial setup for Microsoft Visual Studio wasn't complex. It was very easy. The process was easy to understand. It only took me five seconds to deploy Microsoft Visual Studio.

I implemented Microsoft Visual Studio myself. You can do it in-house.

Microsoft Visual Studio is free. It's freeware, so you don't have to pay for its license.

I evaluated WebStorm, IBM Eclipse, and Angular.

In my company, three users work with Microsoft Visual Studio.

I would recommend WebStorm to others, rather than Microsoft Visual Studio.

My rating for Microsoft Visual Studio is six out of ten, though my friends would probably rate the solution a ten.
